Garlic scapes are the tips that emerge from the center of the plant in spring as it attempts to form a flower and seed.  Harvesting it before it has flowered, it is a culinary treat!

Garlic Scape Pesto
Picture
1 bunch of garlic scapes, tops removed with ½ -inch of stem left and reserved for pickling, stems roughly chopped
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice of one lemon
Salt, to taste
(I didn’t have any celery leaves on hand, but if I had I would have added about ½ cup)

Put all of these ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
​
Note:  I tasted the pesto just like this and thought that it was alright, but once I added it to the freshly cooked pasta, the heat brought out the flavor immensely
Picture
​To make the pasta, I prepared the fava beans to the second shelled stage, marinated the shrimp in lemon juice and salt, and cooked the spring onions on medium-low heat until soft and caramelized.
Then, while boiling pasta, I cooked the shrimp in a skillet in some brown butter.
Stir it all together and serve with a chilled glass of white wine.
Bon Appetit!
